Description
Astro Duel 2 is a sci-fi combat game combining top-down space dog fights with up-close platforming action. Whether versus or co-op, battle through space and on foot at the same time! Strike within the fully-destructible arenas or just nuke ‘em from orbit.
History
During the development of Astro Duel in 2014, Rusty Moyher experimented with redesigned controls built natively for a gamepad analogue stick. The prototype was soon followed by faster combat, new ship types, and pilot blades. This would have led to a normal-sized sequel. Then a crazy idea was found: what if the pilots could enter gravity zones and it became a platformer? The ambitious addition was too exciting to ignore. So began the 10 year journey of building Astro Duel 2.
